Abstract

This article explores writing as a way to make the invisible labour of art practitioners visible. More specifically, it engages with the performativity of words and the embodied knowledge and skills performed in and through art educational practices. Building on the notion of artwork as invisible labour, I explore writing as a way to articulate the embodied work of professionals in art education. Drawing from the analyses of the words of professionals in embodied work, the article presents a writing exercise for articulating embodied labour.
